Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC G+G (x4)


[Verse]
FF        E minorEm    DmDm    C majorC          G+G
 Walk past the kids all skipping class, their nervous smiles and too loud laughs
FF    E minorEm    DmDm    C majorC       G+G
 A augmentedA cigarette gets passed around the boys
  FF    E minorEm    DmDm        C majorC        G+G
 Celebrity becomes implied with their whitened teeth, Cheshire cat smiles
   FF    E minorEm      DmDm     C majorC   G+G
As all around me rushes to the noise
   FF     E minorEm     DmDm     C majorC       G+G
Of a holiday I cannot comprehend rolls slowly as the tram tracks bend
 FF     E minorEm   DmDm     C majorC   G+G
Around more choking hazard toys

[Bridge]
    FF                    C majorC
And the ocean laps dyed green under the footpath where the shore once stood proud
FF                 C majorC
  But nobody's got time for that now


[Chorus]
  A minorAm     G+G       C majorC
So I ask for directions even though I know exactly where I am
A minorAm       G+G       FF
  Just want someone to talk to
A minorAm    G+G       C majorC        FF
  Someone to hold their hand against my hand
       A minorAm     G+G
Say, "It's alright, I understand,"
       C majorC      FF
Say, "It's alright, I understand!"


[Instrumental Solo]
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC G+G (x2)


[Verse]
   FF       E minorEm     DmDm   C majorC       G+G
And I cannot judge and I cannot hide my coffee teeth and brand name smile
   FF      E minorEm       DmDm   C majorC      G+G
As I'm suckered in by the blinking lights, happy hours, pointless fights
    FF      E minorEm   DmDm      C majorC        G+G
And the taxes I can't comprehend, I don't know how much to tip
       FF       E minorEm      DmDm       C majorC    G+G
Or where the grand experiment goes to get fucked when it gets dark
     FF       E minorEm   DmDm      C majorC           G+G
And I'm magically made to cooperate and the streets round here don't feel the same
  FF         E minorEm    DmDm    C majorC         G+G
As when I would have wanted to walk down every avenue arm in broken arm with you

[Bridge]
FF      C majorC
  But now my pre-sunrise respite makes me even
FF           C majorC
less of the right guy


[Chorus]
   A minorAm    G+G    C majorC
And I'm happy here or I'm comfortable there
A minorAm      G+G        FF
 But I don't get to say that much
A minorAm        G+G        C majorC   FF
 Thought it was another thing we gave up
  A minorAm            G+G
Yeah, yeah I thought it was another thing we'd given up


[Bridge]
FF          G+G       A minorAm         G+G
 Like having friends, relationships and any chance of stay at home happiness
FF      G+G      A minorAm        G+G
 Remembering dollars and cents and knowing where the fuck I have slept
FF          G+G
 But I'd give it all up for a shot at this
A minorAm         G+G
 I wanna make everything, quit every bad
FF              G+G
habit that I'm in, Remember where I'm from and where I'm going
A minorAm           G+G
 And find something in me to provide self-esteem
  FF          G+G
Stop living day-to-day, night-to-night, dream-to-dream
    A minorAm      G+G
I don't get anything from anything anymore
FF    G+G
 I don't love anyone anymore
A minorAm    G+G
 I don't love anyone anymore
FF    G+G
 I don't love anyone anymore


[Chorus]
  A minorAm     G+G       C majorC
So I ask for directions even though I know exactly where I am
A minorAm       G+G       FF
  Just want someone to talk to
A minorAm    G+G       C majorC        FF
  Someone to hold their hand against my hand
       A minorAm     G+G
Say, "It's alright, I understand,"
       C majorC      FF
Say, "It's alright, I understand!"


[Outro]
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC G+G (x3)
